While I'm watching the game, thought I'd test the new limits of our polls (thanks @Hovadipo).
So how are you feeling right now after some of the dust has started to settle?
PS - Go Baylor
Staff Hired
HC Woodson - x-IU player, underrated NBA coaching career, this is his dream job.
Associate AD Matta - Was a great HC at Butler, Xavier, and OSU. Great development, and great shooting were his hallmarks. Knows the MW.
Assistant Dane Fife - x-IU player, known for strong D, mentored by Izzo, and was ranked a top 10 recruiter by 247 in 2021. Coach in waiting?
Note - 1 assistant coach spot remains open
Staff Retained
Kenya Hunter - experience from Ucon, Georgetown, Duquesne, Nebraska, and NC State. Great coach of bigs. Recruiting ties to the DC area and NE in general.
2021 and 2022 Commits retained - both/all
Players confirmed returning (or re-recruited)
Jackson Davis - huge re-recruitment win. Instant centerpiece. His comments about the program finally having some excitement was, well, exciting.
Lander - Our prized 5 star PG recruit from last year, back in the fold
Geronimo - 4 star SF from last year's class. Momma lost this battle.
Leal - probably our best future pure shooter from last years class
Stewart - competent combo guard who shoots well. Should play a big role next season.
Galloway - high energy guy from last year's class.
In the Portal or gone
Franklin - TBD - IL?
Thompson - TBD - MN?
Henderson - TBD
Durham - Gone - Providence
Hasn't commented
Brunk - likely coming back, or retire.
Hunter - assuming he'll stay
Phinisee - assuming he'll stay
Note - Apologies if I've got any of the above wrong. With all the moving pieces, not sure I've read everything.
